Manuscript). A sample of 200 typically developing Indian children were included in the study using convenience sampling method. The age ranged from 6 years to 9 years. It was found that ETCH-M is an assessment tool which can assess the Handwriting skills of Indian typically developing children in 6-9 years of age group. Independent sample t- test was done to compare the mean raw score of each group. There was a significant difference with statistical value of p< 0.001. The handwriting evaluation depends upon six characteristics of writing: Handwriting legibility, letter formation, uniformity of letter size, uniformity of letter slant, spacing between letters and words, alignment of lines of writing.
